Re: Can you print to PDF with FrameMaker 7?

[Dov Isaacs <isaacs@xxxxxxxxx>]

Acrobat Distiller 5.0.5 allows PDF files to be saved as
PDF 1.2 (Acrobat 3.0-compatible), PDF 1.3 (Acrobat 4.0.x-
compatible), or PDF 1.4 (Acrobat 5.0.x-compatible).

Theoretically, depending upon the version of PDF generated,
you should be able to use the corresponding version of Acrobat
or later to edit the resultant PDF file.

I personally don't accept wish list items. Lee Richardson
and our marketing folks are the ones who monitor for that.
But quite frankly, FrameMaker 7 is in advanced beta now.
New features have not being added to FrameMaker 7 for a while
now.
